Butterfly Card

I made this card following the sketch over at 2 Sketches 4 You.

I'm really enjoying making cards from their sketches - I've really have to think outside what I normally do, which is great. I had noticed that alot of my cards seemed to be replicas of each other - it's nice to have a new starting point to create something unique.

I only recently discovered how much I love the look of stamping with white ink on black paper - now I add it on all my latest creations :). Oh and I just adore the Home Accents cartridge for my cricut (that's where the butterfly is from) - it's defiantly my favourite cartridge so far.

Thanks for looking!

2S4U - Happy Anniversary

When I first say the sketch on 2 sketches for you this week I had no idea what to do. But I needed a card for my friends first wedding anniversary (It's hard to believe it is a whole year since I was her bridesmaid), so I played around and decided to turn the strip into a line of hearts - and I quite like the effect.

And since they also supplied a bonus sketch I made a card for Dad because it's Fathers Day this Sunday in Australia.

2S4U - Pink and Orange Flower

I found 2 Sketches 4 You on the cricut message board - and I love it! Every week a new sketch is put up and anyone can create a card using the sketch. Here is this weeks sketch;

And this is my interpretation of it. It's no where near the standard of many other people on the blog - some of the cards are amazing!

Seeing as how my cricut is still so new and shiny I had to use it; all the cuts are from the George and Basic Shapes cartridge, The patterned paper is from 'one heart . . . one mind'. The other pieces are just different bits from my scraps :).

I really love the look of pink and orange together - it's so fresh and young. I think this would be a perfect card for a teen girl.
